I have yet to try it out. I have heard that the recoil is not as bad as one might think. I have purchased a variety of different loads: 00 Buck, Mini Buck, 2 - .65 Ball loads, #4 Buck. As long as the kick is not as bad as my dad's Winchester Model 71 in .348 Winchester, I will be fine. A real bear rifle and a bear of a kick. That is my benchmark against which all other firearms recoils are measured.

Love that Saiga 12 of yours. I see a number of different weapons in it. The H&K sights, the Galil cocking handle, the FN-FALish Para type folding stock. And that door breeching spiked compensator is just wicked.

Nice buy. I got to play with a dealers sample (not for sale) when they first came out in my dealers office. That has been some time ago and I have not seen one since. I thought it was pretty neat.
Let us know what you think after you test fire it.

I will. I purchased it through Atlantic Firearms and got it for $899. A bit much, I know, but I figured I should buy it now or I may never get the opportunity again. I sometimes wish I still owned my dad's farm back in Arkansas(Madison County). I was able to walk out from the porch to the field 50 yards away and target shoot all day if I wanted.

Oh, well.... Life is about change.

Update: 9/7/15 I finally took my KSG to the range. Recoil is stout but manageable. Shoots really nice; action sweet with no failure to feed or eject. I posted a new link in the Range Reports if interested in specifics or the target photo. Kool as a jewel.

Mossberg 930 SPX semi-auto 12 gauge. It is now equipped with a flashlight and a red dot reflex sight. I also have a Benelli M1 Super 90 semi-auto only and I think that the Mossberg actually cycles faster then the Benelli.
